early September, depending on how many snow days we have in the

winter. Then our summer starts after early June wehen school

How The Government of America Works

All votes in America are counted electronically, every state and district have the same rules. America has one of the worlds most antique, politicized and dysfunctional procedures for elections.

The executive branch is run by a president, the legislature is run by the congress, and the judicial is run by the supreme court. Americans call the system " checks and balances " because of the way it works.

In America a president runs the country. Every four years the country votes to see who will be our next president. They can be elected for two terms, which means they could be president for eight years.

In America they have freedom of speech. That means you are allowed to say what you want and know body can tell you you can't. If you don't think somethings right you can go right out and say it to whoever you want. But you also don't have to say what ever you don't want to and know body can tell you what to do.

In America you have to be 18 or older to be allowed to vote. Also all citizens old enough are allowed to vote and have the rights to be able too. From April 26, 1607 people had the date on there calenders ready to vote for the next president of their country.

Back the America used to have a lot of unfair rules separating the African Americans and the whites. Or only men were allowed to vote. Things like that that just were unfair but now everyone is allowed to vote if your 18 or older, and everyone gets to eat at the same restaurants or play with each other no matter what color you were. Everyone is treated equal.

The press in America has shifted to watching over the government, which has earned the title of " Forth Estate." Nowadays, you can count on the press to know what is happening in the government. The press is so involved in the government to deliver news to people across the country that sometimes the information is incorrect. The press has freedom to say what they want about the government. They sometimes get carried away and say what the people want to hear and not what's true.

Taxes are dues we pay to enjoy the number of benefits and activities that government provides for our society. These include national parks to visit, clean beaches, and more. Most of the time republicans think that taxes are bad so people shouldn't have to pay them and democrats think that they are good for society.

The branches of government in America are the judicial, executive, and legislative. The president is elected by a system called the electoral college. The electoral college is a system where the majority of each state is counted. If the majority of a state is on the republican side, then all of their electoral votes (the number varies) will go to the republican candidate and vice versus. Some states choose to split their electoral votes. These states include Maine and Nebraska. The constitution was enacted in 1776 and signed by the founding fathers. The founding fathers created our democracy and wrote the first set of laws called the articles of confederation. These laws were to protect the people from falling back into the monarchy they started with in England.

America has had one written constitution since independence in 1776. Once they became independent they decided to make one for rules for their country. America has the second oldest constitution in the world!

The judicial branch is run by the supreme court. The executive branch is run by the president. The last branch, the legislative is run by the congress. Americans call it "checks and balances" by the way the system works.
